UNDER EMBARGO UNTIL 07 July 2015 00:00

Itemize (www.itemize.com), the world’s leading receipt data extraction solution, and Fraedom (www.fraedom.com), a leader in corporate spend management, today announced a new agreement that eliminates user data entry when managing expense receipts.

This agreement means Fraedom customers can simply use their mobile device to take and upload a photo of a receipt, which will then be automatically scanned. In just a few seconds Itemize’s proprietary technology will extract key data about the transaction, including merchant name, total value, and tax amount, which is then used to match the receipt image to the relevant transaction in Fraedom. Cash claims no longer need to be manually created as it’s all done automatically based on the information extracted from the receipt, minimising data entry for the employee. Together, Fraedom and Itemize deliver a ground breaking solution, freeing up staff from cumbersome and time-consuming receipt data entry, so they can get on with their day jobs.

Jim Thomas, CEO and Founder of Itemize, said: “Fraedom can now bring our unique and powerful document processing algorithms to their clients worldwide. Together we enable customers to snap a photo of a receipt; then we automatically extract the data and link it to the right transaction. Automating this process ensures efficiency, increases accuracy, and conserves resources.”

Kyle Ferguson, CEO of Fraedom, added: “This agreement takes us one step closer to our vision of providing our customers with a touch-less transaction experience. It makes it quicker and easier for users to manage their receipts and frees them up to get on with their jobs. For finance it increases receipt compliance and tax reclaim, saving the company time and money.”
